A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 17, 1997 Gallery stops thefis THE TERRACE Art Gal- lery is making improve- ments to its security, after a couple of thefis this year. During a multicultural ex- hibition last February two items went missing, and then later a painting dis- appeared from the art rental program, says Vi Tim- merman of the Terrace Art Association. Glass on a display case was also broken. The thefts and damage cost the Art Association close to $600, That money wasn’t covered by insur- ance, because the amounts were too small compared to the deductible the associa- tion would have to pay. Timmerman says security has become a bigger issue because access to the wiring and furnace for the ex- panded library, upstairs from the gallery, is through the gallery. Workers come and go through the gallery after hours, and she’s concemed they might not remember to put the security on, or might leave the door unlocked. At times the gallery has $50,000-100,000 worth of art work. For example, the gallery recently featured the work of David Neel, a show on Joan from the Con- temporary Museum of Pho- tography in Ottawa. CONSTABLE JAMIE Saxton got an unpleasant surpise last week when a motorist pushed him off the road. His police cruiser was badly damaged but Saxton was not seriously injured. Officer becomes victim CONSTABLE JAMIE Saxton thought was on his way to help someone last week, but he ended up needing help him- self. Saxton was driving to attend a spousal assault call Dec, 10 when he was hit by another vehicle and forced off the road. Staff Sgt. Doug Wheler says Saxton was passing a van in his police cruiser on Kalum St. when the accident occurred. Saxton’s emergency lights were flashing to warn other drivers to pull over. But apparently the driver of the van wasn’t aware of the police cruiser or just made a mistake and turned left, directly into the right side of Saxton’s car as he passed. The impact spun Saxton’s car around and it plowed into a telephone pole. ‘The officer was badly shaken,” Wheler says. ‘‘But all the airbags went off. He was OK.”’ Saxton was taken io Mill’s Memorial Hospital and released, The driver of the van is under investigation. Water tank plan to cause a fuss CITY COUNCILLORS are bracing for angry protests from Wilson St. residents,on the Bench after their decision to build a big concrete witer tank there. The new $500,000 concrete tank will replace the ald, leaking wooden tank on the street, but it will be closer to the road than the old one. ‘There are going to be people who are going to be up- set,” director of engineering Stew Christensen warned councillors. ..ra {He said ot, Wns older one bécause:of the’ setback from. the escarpment now tequired by the city’s planned environmentally sensitive areas regulations. Christensen said the tank shouldn’t change the view for the homes there, but predicted residents will object to the 4°: tt . nkjhas tp bejcloses. ito ‘the, road: than the KD Automotive Specialty Tools MAGNACHARGE Car & Truck Batteries Exclusive to Elker Auto Engine Treatment 4 Auto Parts Plus large concrete wall on their street. He said city crews will plan grass and trees in an effort to screen the tank from neighbouring homes. The tank is needed to provide 1.5 million litres of water — ora three hour supply for firefighters in case of a fire. Councillors suggested lowering both tanks into the ground, But Christensen said that wouldn’t work because it would reduce the water pressure in the entire horseshoe wee area of town. si Another option discussed and rejected was ripping down. ,.; both the wooden tank down and the other tank beside it down, and then replacing the two tanks with one larger one, That would likely make neighbours happier, Christensen said, but predicted it could cost an extra $350,000.
